Apologies for getting this up so late folks. I switched from using iMovie to using Final Cut Pro X to do the video editing and it was a much bigger learning curve than I figured. I think I've irons out all the glitches, especially the last one -- audio in only one channel is no fun!) and everything should be smooth sailing again from now on.

So I think this posting inspired my dream last night, in which I did a perfect split that even Abby Lee couldn't have found fault with. I've seen some of this show and the whole thing is positively cringeworthy from Abby Lee's ridiculous croak and her horrible insults to the mothers who have nothing better to do but be catty and put more makeup on their daughters but Lu and I then have spirited conversations about it during carpool, with her saying she'd like to join a dance troupe and me begging her not to go over to the Dark Side.(And yes, I share your reasons for sneaking in a Supernanny episode every now and then a confidence boost for my parenting.)

The article in Yachting World has ruffled a few feathers. The author is not known for her diplomacy.

She took the trouble to sit down with each member of the crew and interview them.Her article can be found here.....LINK
